nato allies salut is no way we can dealing. e.u. security or security for european allies from nato on the north atlantic but now two of those nine european countries currently stand on opposite sides of a conflict and i'm referring of course to turkey and the us you mentioned this is well in your remarks turkey attacking the kurds in northern syria kurds who were trained and were and cooperated with by the united states how concerned are you about this conflict between two nato member countries. we are concerned about the sufficiency. where hundreds of thousands of civilians have been killed and millions have been forced to flee and the way we have a very difficult situation then turkey and united states and germany and all nato allies who wrote together in the global coalition to defeat isis so we have worked together and achieved a lot so the challenge now is of course what we see in northern syria. there nato is not present on the ground in order in syria united states is and turkey is i welcome that they have died of contact an

ambassador to nato at the time. and when we had suffered that catastrophic attack on new york and on washington d.c., i was in nato headquarters in brussels, and the canadian ambassador came to me and said, have you thought about invoking article five of the nato treaty. article five of the nato treaty is the article that is the heart of our commitment to each other in nato. an attack on one of us, is an attack on all of us. i was so overcome, both emotionally and politically, by the response that i received that night. every single one of our nato allies, and at that time we had 18 nato allies, said we will come to your defense. - i want to reiterate yet again today that the united states of america can rely on the full support of its 18 nato allies in the campaign against international terrorism. - [narrator] washington wants to leave afghanistan more stable than when us and nato forces arrived. - there's been an evolution. in the beginning the strategy in afghanistan was put forward by the bush administration was

that is the choice to strengthen nato, itreinvigorate not yet to expand nato. certainly, thinking along those lines must have been there. it was certainly there on the soviet side. it is already the moment when the russian liberals begin to think, those people who don't see data less threatening, they began to publish articles on international affairs, saying nato -- the strengthening of nato is supplanting, it is taking away the energy from what building newas european structures, expanding the european integration, and nato is taking away or supplanting this. bigould talk about imaginary thinking, really the common european hope was to completely integrate the soviet union and russia in the family of nations. there were other possibilities rather than strengthening nato at the time. as many people pointed out, even in negotiations with gorbachev in 1990 over the german reunification. a lot of attention was given to -- what was compared to the common european. new european structure, changing the nato character to be a more political structure, the nine tonts,

, to reinvigorate nato, and not yet to expand nato, but certainly thinking along those lines must have been there. it certainly was on the soviet side. it is already the moment when the russian liberals begin to think, those people who don't see nato as threatening, they begin to publish articles on international affairs saying, well, strengthenning of nato is supplanting, taking away the energy what we thought would be building new european structures, expanding the european integration and nato is taking away or supplanting this process. we could talk about big imaginary thinking, but the hope was to integrate the soviet union and russia into the european family of nations. there were other possibilities other than strengthening nato at the time. as many people pointed out here, even in negotiations with gorbachev in 1990 over the germany unification, a lot of attention was given to the common -- to what -- what was compared to the common european home. new structure. csc. changing the nato character to be a more political structure. the nine points, right? all of that seems to quiet

price will be talking about inch short, nato is a nuclear alliance and in many ways nato exemplifies the role of nuclear weapons in the world over the past 60-70 years. nuclear weapons have been at the core of nato's mission. indeed, in the most recent nato strategic document, they stated that as long as there's nuclear weapons in the world, nato will re mine a nuclear alliance. i would take that one step further. i would say as long as there's nuclear weapons in the world, there will be a nato. thank you very much. >> thank you, professor post. and we now move to austin carston. >> thank you to dean woodward, thank you, steve. excited to be here today and i'm struck by my colleagues rob and paul, should be handing nuclear weapons out at the entrance of the u.n. security council. a force for peace. i'm going to give a slight didisperspective. want to focus as muching on the threat that nuclear weapons pose as the promise they provide. and nuclear weapons is a technology that is inain't criminal innovation. here at the university of chicago with hey site revered is a symbolic of human

i was ambassador to nato. we never made a commitment that we would not expand nato into eastern europe. we made a commitment that we would not station nuclear weapons on the territory of the former warsaw pact states. and we have kept that commitment. - [brzezinski] to say that we should freeze nato enlargement, would be another way to reward putin. to legitimize his polices. your basic meaning there would be a line of division. you will have countries who are not allowed to pursue their national interests because of russian dominion. - we urge russia to cease its destabilizing activities in ukraine and elsewhere. - [narrator] using sanctions on russia, some argue, would further integrate russia into the global economy. - our european friends understand that the more that we actually do economic business with russia that the more likely we are to have peaceful interactions that will make things better rather than make things worse. and they will not see that as a sign of weakness. - i think it's nonsense. hone

in short, nato is a nuclear alliance. in many ways it exemplifies the role of nuclear weapons in the world over the past 60 or 70 years. they had been at the core of nato's mission and in the most recent strategic document they stated as long as there's nuclear weapons in the world nato will remain the nuclear alliance. i would say is lancers nuclear weapons in the world there will be a nato. thank you very much. >> we now move to austin carson. >> thank you to dean and steve and my fellow panelists. i'm struck by my colleagues i feel like we should be handing nuclear weapons out as a force for peace them to give a different perspective. i want to focus on the threat of nuclear weapons and the promise they provide. fundamentally it said technology that's incredible innovation. on the other hand it raises critical questions from day one about what we do about this technology and how do we respond to the fact that the genie is out of the bottle. were developing a technology that threatens the species my comments will focus

turkey is a nato ally. it is the only nato country with an active and -- an insurgency inside its own border. we are assisting turkey. a number of the nations are assisting turkey. in terms of missile defense and counterterrorism -- excuse me. and we continue to work on the areas of disagreement, which is how do we take down isis as rapidly as possible? but they have a legitimate securities concerned, and we do not dismiss one bit of that along that border with syria. i don't care whether you are israel or lebanon, jordan, iraq, or turkey. you have legitimate political -- you have legitimate security concerns. how do we thread that needle in this very complex campaign? it's tough, and we are going to continue to work closely with turkey. our military meets daily right now, so that's ongoing. question about burden has sharing. clearly, nato has reversed what was a downward trend, and for now, we are well into the second year. the nations are spending more on defense, and you see it with the number of nations

nato and e.u. are natural partners we share the same values the same challengers the same people more than mine the percent of the people living in e.u. countries live in that nato country i am proud that over the past couple of years we are made and present them good progress on nato you cooperation. today we are working side by side in the aegean mediterranean in afghanistan and iraq in georgia ukraine and the western balkans and on exercises cyber and the hybrid for its e.u. defense can strengthen nato and keep europe safe if they are anchored within the transatlantic partnership. then before i close let me say a few words about the emergence of nuclear challenges for many years the nuclear threat we see that from view unfortunately it is back on our agenda. and it would be irresponsible to ignore it. proliferation is happening now today and corner storm nuclear agreements are under threat including the i.n.f. treaty. i belong to a political generation from whom for whom the baits on nuclear for

we're not in nato we're in the e.u. we're not in the e.u. who is russia to tell them how they should behave. the deployment of the missile defense system was no longer negotiable that's what obama told putin the press conference was frigid. it was good to. know that. he also discussed international affairs at all interested parties in trying to find a resolution to this problem. from obama's point of view how important was putin the leader of a country with a gross domestic product that barely matched that of spain. the meeting ended and i noted deep discord. they did not concede that russia the equal papa good nor bad good but equal. there to be only behavior there was a clear this time who for the feeling of superiority. kind of fear you know. what you languish to show this is your own with like me so if i did not feel that there was a good personal relationship between president obama and vladimir putin i know that for some reason that relationship was strained and the result was that i think in part it contributed t

the company administration's relationships with nato and with russia. there is some specificity. before nuclear deployed weapons increased the risk of accidents, blenders or catastrophic terrorism and by preemption. it is past time to revisit whether these forward base weapons are essentially for military deterrence and political reassurance. the tribe administration's national security strategy of december 2017 commits to discontinue employment without presenting the analysis that would emerge from a hard look. so do you think is forward deployed weapons should not be there? >> basically yes. what we are calling for is a re-examination. let's get it on the table. i have to say there is a consensus among our military that these weapons do not satisfy military object is. secondly, we have a flexible deterrence without them. third, it is difficult to imagine a u.s. president thinking that the first use of a nuclear weapon would calm by our other a pilot from some country be the delivery vehicle. fourth, let's face it. we have a new world of terrorism. we

and its armed extension in europe nato. since the collapse of the u.s.s.r. in one thousand nine hundred ninety one the transatlantic alliance has encroached on moscow's spear of influence poland romania and the baltic states which were occupied by soviet forces sought nato as protection. nato carried out a series of large scale maneuvers in response to putin's nationalist rhetoric a rhetoric that worried his neighbors. the united states pushed ahead with plans for a new state of the art missile defense system throughout eastern europe putin saw that as an unacceptable challenge to his quest for power. in june twenty twelve he confronted the western alliance at the g twenty in mexico and economic summit that brings together heads of state once a year. behind the scenes these summits

a libyan man whose family was killed during a nato air raid in two thousand and eleven stepped up his fight for justice and looks to take the alliance to europe's top human rights court. now we do need to explain why our house and other houses will show all the military targets i don't understand why nato targeted dog house. and from extortion to drug dealing one of the united states biggest ever police corruption scandals reveals an abuse of power within an elite task force in the city of baltimore. this is our to international coming to life from moscow with me jack and virga thanks for tuning in this hour first the court of arbitration for sport has overturned a lifetime a limpid bans of twenty eight russian athletes accused of doping and up held the results at the sochi winter games gasol betrayed just unanimously found that the evidence put forward by the are you seeing in relation to this much or did not have the same weight in each individual case this is one in twenty cases the evidence collected was found to be insufficient to establish that's. true violation it was committed

countries varied russia wanted to collide to turkish troops and nato to make a rupture in the nato structure so i think here just just fold resolving the tensions getting to a crisis is that major wean because the the two parties was started to not to talk about it they wouldn't listen to each other if you look at the statements after the phone call between add on and trumped up thought about ses a lot about why the turkish side and the american side are not listening to each other and it was on a collision course so if so i think here we should just just take that step as a major one mehmet say you can we thank you for speaking to us from istanbul where you can get behind the story with our reporter's notebook and this one jordan gives us the us has taken outlines why this trip to turkey by tillerson could be the most important one yet so you can head to al jazeera dot com click on more and that's where you'll find our reporter notebook over to london with jonah how with more of the international news hi donna. i during thank you south africa's new president. is due to give his first state

we have strived for becoming a member of nato and e.u. practically since our independence and this is one of the goals that unites the country macedonia is a very diverse country in terms of ethnic groups religious groups languages and if there is really a point where everyone meets including different political parties this is the strategic objective to join in the west in a way the west join the nato alliance join the european union and it has been an excellent encourage and most for our reform when we got the greek veto in two thousand and eight for our nato membership it made the country more frustrated more isolated and politics vacuum does not exist so it gets fairly and it play into things including nationalism i don't believe that nato and you can by definition win over nationalism a problem you know they want but giving hope to the people given the prospect of stable more integrated region and continent giving them the perspective for economic growth which usually comes with nato membership and e.u. is the only end to doat that w

leaders nato has only one nation and one of our allies. and insurgency inside its own borders and nato and america stand with turkey on a good image should curity concerns we have never given heavy arms to the y.p. jews so there is none to take back turkish military is in syria fighting against kurdish forces kurdish forces that have been armed by the united states now it turns out a number of the forces in the past decaff have actually relocated they've essentially gone to a wall from their position elsewhere in the country and gone to northern syria to fight against the turkish military turkey is demanding that kurdish forces be expelled from the anti islamic state fighting force led by the united states in syria however in the past we've heard u.s. leaders quite adamant about their support for the kurds the coalitions we can join with the syrian democratic food system stop and train the new soon border security force approximately two hundred individuals training in the b.s.f. sanogo close with the goal of a funnel for the sons of appro

as nato's first secretary-general famously remarked, to keep the purpose of nato is to keep the american -- is for the center of nato since the beginning, and it is indeed why nato refers to itself as a nuclear alliance. from the stationing of b-29 bombers in england during the late 1940s ap and 1950s and each which was equipped with the bomb to the forward deployment of the nuclear forces and american-controlled nuclear forces in germany, turkey and the today in belgian, netherlands and other american allies, but keeping the american nuclear force, and american-controlled nuclear forces on the continent has again been foundational and fundamental to nato's operation which leads directly into second purpose, keeping the russian nukes deterred. the idea is that by keeping the american nukes deployed in europe, it makes it that much less likely that russia would want to attempt coercion oo eitherer by threatening a nuclear strike or even threatening with conventional strike, because the reality is if the u.s. nukes are safely stored away in a silo in south dakota, the russians would say, t

in terms of defense but also in relation to nato as a nato secretary general here is as well we have also from the middle east a very strong showing we have been a minister and yahoo the israeli prime minister set to talk here on sunday and both the saudi and the iranian foreign ministers are here so plenty of potential to tackle those crises that are becoming more because that is one essential headline here that tries these are becoming more they're claiming movie terms and particular becoming more complex so all the people you would need to get round the table will be here in munich the question is will they actually meet head to head and what kind of discussions will go on in the background traditionally the one bit of progress that we almost see as of traditional conference is on that ukraine issue we have the russian foreign minister here in form and say here it is anyway is here anyway france is represented and the ukrainians saw it with ukraine's president petro poroshenko we expect to see some meeting there this evening how much progress will actually happen how much of that

complementary to nato but it will not replace nato nato remains an indispensable pillar of our security i understand that now is seventy years after world war two the us is now is say we cannot really communicated and communicate it anymore to the american taxpayers why we have the same g.d.p. but europe but the u.s. still has to take on the major burden for the european defense and this has really nothing to do with president trump but i think that the majority of the people in the u.s. see that so yes the strengthening of the european pillar but not with the intention to replace. minister ladies and gentlemen unfortunately we are already behind the shed you are on the laws stacy of the. so you're watching live coverage here on news of the munich security conference the german foreign minister gabriele has just been on throwing the questions of the man you see on your screen involved. he's the head of the munich security conference we're now waiting for the next major speech of the morning which is going to be coming from to reason may the british prime minister he was saying to journa

staging a possible military confrontation against another nato country what kind of crisis for nato would that be if there were some really a clash between the turkish and american forces in the region so this is obviously going to be one of the highlights. of our discussions here in munich and i'm glad to say that everybody who has something to say and who has something to decide about the situation is going to be right here at the be executed conference what are you aiming for here what would be a positive outcome well i don't expect the munich security conference to be the place where all of a sudden you know by a stroke of miraculous activity things will get better what i do expect and what i hope is that they will at least talk to each other the russians to the americans netanyahu hopefully to some of the actors he doesn't like from the region but i think he needs to talk to them i hope they will talk to him. the best would be if there were a discussion between saudi arabia and iran if there were a discussion between iran and israel that's only a hope not a for my expectation and jus

now we demand that nato explain why our house and other houses were shelled are they military targets i don't understand why nato targeted our house sadly my dear wife died as well as my cousins my innocent children our neighbors our friends were there with us it was a monstrous crime and nato has the latest equipment and technology which allows them to accurately determine the target of the nato aircraft struck specifically at night when people were in their homes they intentionally hit civilian targets hospitals schools gas stations they destroyed all the infrastructure they were killing civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure apparently knowing there were no weapons there. you can see on the map here where the shelling took place by nato forces as carried describe thirteen people were killed in the attack including three children he admits his house may have been targeted because his father was a general who served under libya's former leader moammar gadhafi there's no evidence pointing to civilians being in the house at that time of the bombing however callid says he has

with nato and russia. you write that forward deployed nuclear weapons in russia possibility of blunders. the trump administration's national security strategy of goes to analysis that would emerge from a hard look. do you think those forward deployed weapon should not be there? guest: what we're calling for is a re-examination. let's get it on the table. i think that there is a consensus, including among the military, that these weapons do not satisfy any military objective. we have a capable and flexible nuclear deterrent without them. to imagine ahard u.s. president imagining that the first use of a nuclear weapon would come by us having a plane and pilot from another country being the delivery vehicle. ofrth we have a new world terrorism and instability on the southern flank of nato, turkey and syria for example. at the minimum, a serious analysis of what the risks are matched up. no military benefit that we can see is there. we recognize that at a time of difficult relationships with russia, it would b

all the military targets i don't understand why nato targeted our. drug deals one of the biggest u.s. . products is part of the policy. deceptive marketing. it's ten o'clock here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international live from our studio here with me in india or two to welcome to the program a libyan man who lost his whole family during a nato bombardment in the country is planning to take his fight for justice to the european court for human rights the international alliance reportedly dropped two bombs on his house during a campaign back in twenty eleven. now we demanded need to explain why our house and other houses were shelled are they military targets i don't understand why nato targeted our house sadly my dear wife died as well as my cousins my innocent children our neighbors our friends were there with us it was a monstrous crime nato has the latest equipment and technology which allows them to accurately determine the target nato aircraft struck specifically at night when people were in their homes they intentionally hit civilian

news live from berlin and russia and the us clash wall nato and the e.u. search for unity at the munich security conference the us national security advisor speaks of indisputable evidence that moscow interfered in america's election a claim russia's foreign minister dismiss this as blather and germany's foreign minister says berlin it no longer knows who want to make of washington's policies also coming up the turkish german journalism done as you jel says he's glad to be free after a year in a turkish prison but he expressed concern for the many other journalists still behind bars. and law from the red carpet of the berlin film festival all have all the glitz and glamour coming up for you later on the show. hello and welcome i'm marrying evanston it's good to have you with us. we begin with the munich security conference taking place at a time when alliances that can the world stable for a decade are under strain for its part germany is unsure about the direction that the united states is taking in syria the u.s. and turkey support opposing sides and in

ourselves diplomatically and politically and elizabeth which is you have the two largest armies in nato allies incapable of agreeing military strategy when it comes to syria incapable of being political strategy when it comes to the future of syria and whether what kind of role different groups will be playing and incapable of actually reassuring the other not that they're allies but that they're not enemies and that turkey is asking from the u.s. to essentially boost their confidence in washington that washington is not working actively against sarkisian interests so that's where we find ourselves in right now there's certainly so much at stake between these two nato allies and and their relationship if we look at. what's happening in the right now and what we're expecting to happen in the days and weeks ahead in syria if there's no progress between these two leaders and turkey looks to go beyond a lean and send strips to man bridge where the kurds and u.s. troops are you know trying to secure the city from isis fighters i mean what are we anticipating here. well what the turks are pro

with the power of nato and the e.u. but not enough and what we've just allowed it to escalate and escalate and it's getting even worse now because obviously turkey where the leader actually got rid of all the opposition and has now started to invade syria himself he's escalated even further so where previously we could use nato. as a nato member as a buffer zone and get them involved as a part of nato now they've decided to involve themselves on the wrong case and invade syria so now it's pushing even further into europe into greece but where is nato where is the you why aren't they doing anything and this is a consistent problem with them they're complete in it anything to be fair to them and of the even to be fair and certainly a lot of criticisms come their way over the last few months and they say they've increased the search and rescue missions going on in the mediterranean increase their work the north african countries where many americans are coming from they struck this deal would be to you to help ease the mig

them but we should help them over there we don't have to bring them here this is where the you and nato of really massively failed because they should have a buffer zone as they should have set up safe zones around the syria get these children into these areas look after them trying to reeducate them. but know what you've got a you've got to do want people to bring them over here let them walk free while the been assessed well know. the walking through it but we don't live in the law of the jungle it's not more brutal we live in a country where we value the rule of law and where we have people in this case these children who have been forced to syria by their parents these children haven't taken that decision and they're not in no legal state to consent to be sent to be taken to syria that they are british. since our we as a government as a society and as a country have a duty of care towards the children in the u.k. anybody below the age of eighteen you actually classed as a child a fourteen fifteen sixteen year old or seventeen year old can just go around the streets with a knife. lik

but you can see here on the map where the nato strike took place as khaled mentioned thirteen people were killed in the bombardment including three children he say's his heists may have been targeted because his father was a general who served under libya's former leader moammar gadhafi but tell it say's it was just a family home not a legitimate military target he began his battle for justice back in twenty twelfth but his face an uphill struggle to get his case to court nato argues that it was a military site and it had no intelligence suggesting civilians were in the house out the time of the strike nevertheless callid stresses this is just one case among many where nato has refused to take responsibility. we gathered our families in different parts of libya we found a man whose wife and daughter and son as well as his mother died during the shelling and there were other families in other cities a lot of families we compiled a report from all identified victims after having documented in photograph the material was so that this case could become a historical precedent. after the b

ok you can see here on the market where the nato attack actually took place or a man. mentioned thirteen people were killed in the bombardment including three children he says his house may have been targeted because his father was a general who served under libya's former leader moammar gadhafi but how it sees it was just a family home not a legitimate target he began his battle for justice back in twenty twelve but has struggled to face than struggle to actually get his case heard in court nato which enjoys a degree of legal immunity in such cases argues that it had no intelligence suggesting civilians were in the highest at the time of the strike or how i'd say his lawyers have no find a way of challenging the protections afforded to the alliance and he hopes his case will set a precedent for others who also lost their families. we gathered our families in different parts of libya we found a man whose wife and daughter and son as well as his mother died during the shelling there were other families in other cities a lot of families we compiled a report from all iden

but the secretary often communicates with our nato -- with our nato partners about their contributions. reporter: harassment. you said something interesting about banning offensive jokes. who would determine the jokes and will you have a murder board? seriously. this is a freedom of speech issue too. offensiveness is in the eye of the ear. is there going to be a list of what cons cutes -- constitutes offensive words? dana: i like that you got eorge karlen in there. sfp now i'm running george karlen things in my head. thank you. the goal of the harassment policy is to address all issues of harassment. so, the implementation policies will be developed by the services. they will come up with the framework. o.s.d., the undersecretary for p&r, will then look at those standards, look at what their proposals are, and determine if they're consistent with the goals of this framework. there's a working group. we have to -- the point of the harassment policy is to ensure that we have a safe workplace. no one should feel intimidated. no one should feel as though they can't do their job without bei

welcome back to the program a libyan man who lost his whole family in a nato air raid is planning to take his fight for justice to the european court of human rights he says the alliance struck two bombs on his house during its military intervention in the country in two thousand and eleven. now we demand that we need to explain why our house and houses were showing all the military targets i don't understand why nato targeted our house sadly my dear wife died as well as my cousins my innocent children and on neighbor friends were there with this it was a monstrous crime of this nature has the latest equipment and technology which allows them to argue with the term in the target of the nato cross drug specifically at night when people were in their home they intentionally hit civilian targets hospital schools gas stations they destroyed all the infrastructure while they were killing civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure apparently knowing there were no weapons that. here you can see on the map where the nato attack took place as mentioned thirteen people were killed in the

are at odds with each other in a third country that has nothing to do with nato nato spear of influence is put it that way. the interesting thing is that you see the turks are really looking at different options right now ok i'm not convinced they're the most reliable partner but a lot of people feel that way including nato and so we'll see i think we're seeing a real drift here i don't think turkey would give up nato they would want something forward ok a lot of people are saying they're going to walk away and i know they'll leverage their way one way or another but that's really the changing shifting sands of what's going on because of this proxy war in syria go ahead and. well trump actually promised the turkish president that the u.s. will stop. the the wife which is carefully at a terrorist organization that's killed many turks. and then almost immediately afterwards the military in the united states started to make noises that we will continue to support the democratic forces which basically is a front for the y p t and the p.k. k. and so it's one wonders who's in charge example u
